Halo - Willowlamp
The Halo, is a statement-making exploration of architectural lines and is inspired by Spanish modernist architect Antoni Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. Gaudi used inverted chain models to simulate the structural forces of compression; this method captivated willowlamp’s Adam Hoet in this latest piece.
Dress Code - Linea Light Group
Dress Code ‘dresses’ the light with the elegance typical of the Made in Italy stamp of approval. The new table lamp from Linea Light is composed of interchangeable parts in each component, from the articulated head with LED source to the tapered arm, also articulated, up to the solid circular base.
A central aluminium skeleton serves as the base for the ‘dress’, composed of pieces that can be detached and replaced with other finishes, so the user can create monochrome models and renew the image of their Dress Code at will, or create imaginative two-tone finishes. The structure is solid and robust, the joints reliable, the aesthetics unmistakably elegant.
OE Quasi - Louis Poulsen
Louis Poulsen has collaborated with Danish-Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson on a new, large-scale pendant light. The product was revealed for the first time at Euroluce and uses geometry to shape light. This collaboration reinforces Louis Poulsen and Eliasson’s shared idea that good light = good life.
The light, designed by Eliasson, is composed of two contrasting geometric shapes, a rigid outer frame and a soft, layered interior. Its complex shape is perceived differently depending on where the observer stands, creating endless interpretations and perspectives that make the light come to life.

Luna Series - Gabriel Scott
The Luna Series explores a marriage of two lights: the tube pieces, emulating commercial tube lighting and the blown glass lights, which resemble precious beads. The two counterbalance each other and push forward a more feminine and softer look, which is a refreshing move forward for the designers.

Medusa - Oxen Luce
This year’s Euroluce saw Italian lighting brand Oxen Luce – part of the NexoLuce group – launch a comprehensive decorative lighting range. The Oxen Luce line draws inspiration from simple geometrical shapes and focuses not only on the aesthetics of the products, but also on the artistic lighting effect they produce onto the surrounding surfaces. The name chosen for each piece is derived from its shape such as Sipario, Ruota, Pergola, Gricia and so on, expressed in the language where the brand’s headquarter and factory are located - Italy.
Created over an eighteen month period, from initial concept design developed by Oxen’s in-house design team, to the final production stage, for Oxen Production Manager Marco Corbetta, the most challenging aspect of producing the range was ensuring each single lighting piece is unique, while using the same production methods as the company’s ‘made to measure’ production techniques. “We also had to find the right balance between minimalism and eclecticism,” Corbetta tells darc. “The collection is mainly made of blown glass and steel with special finishes such as satin champagne, satin gold, galvanized copper, black nickel and so on. We also kept the products free from complex electronics by using LED lamps that are easily exchangeable.”
The Oxen range includes various products featuring ceiling, floor, pendant, wall, table lights as well as bespoke possibilities. Its overall design language feels familiar and comfortable yet distinctive, and would suit luxurious lounges, hotel halls or private residences.
“Oxen meets various styles and interior designs,” adds Corbetta. “The line is a blend of minimalism and eclecticism made of materials and colours that do not fade over time.”

Multiverse - Arpel Lighting
A fan of science fiction, Multiverse’s designer Thierry d’Istria was inspired by the wormhole (also called Einstein-Rosen bridge) which is a speculative shortcut through space-time.
Like the bridges linking two points in space, the Multiverse lamp is the link between direct lighting and indirect lighting.
Oscar - Terzani
Paying tribute to one of the founders of modern architecture, designer Dodo Arslan has created a series of lights named Oscar, which pay homage through their adoption of Oscar Niemeyer’s signature sensuous curves. Available in a floor, table, and standing format, Oscar consists of glass orbs delicately held by curved brass.
Ivy - Brokis
Designed by Lucie Koldova, nature and its life-giving beauty and strength serve as the model for this new light concept.
